KT McFarland: You don’t need to be a shrink to figure this out. What does he [Obama] really care about? His legacy. What does he not care as much about? Well, the safety and security of the American people.

Varney: That’s a terrible thing to say . . .

KT McFarland: Look, here’s their foreign policy. Their foreign policy is strategic patience. Everything’s going to work out in the end . . .

Later, Varney – no fan of Obama’s – stated his opinion, and KT McFarland doubled down on her earlier statement:

Varney: I think he [Obama] feels that his legacy is to some degree in shreds. And he’s desperately trying to defend it. That would be my opinion.

KT McFarland: Or he’s in a parallel universe.

Varney: That’s another very strong statement, KT. This is the President of the United States of America.

KT McFarland: Who thinks that his legacy is much more important, and he gets much more excited about it, than he does when he’s talking about defending American people at home.
